- <pre lang="bash"><code>npm explain <folder | specifier>
- alias: why
- </code></pre>
- <h3 id="description">Description</h3>
- <p>This command will print the chain of dependencies causing a given package
- to be installed in the current project.</p>
- <p>Positional arguments can be either folders within <code>node_modules</code>, or
- <code>name@version-range</code> specifiers, which will select the dependency
- relationships to explain.</p>
- <p>For example, running <code>npm explain glob</code> within npm’s source tree will show:</p>
- <pre lang="bash"><code>glob@7.1.6
- node_modules/glob
- glob@"^7.1.4" from the root project
- glob@7.1.1 dev
- node_modules/tacks/node_modules/glob
- glob@"^7.0.5" from rimraf@2.6.2
- node_modules/tacks/node_modules/rimraf
- rimraf@"^2.6.2" from tacks@1.3.0
- node_modules/tacks
- dev tacks@"^1.3.0" from the root project
- </code></pre>
- <p>To explain just the package residing at a specific folder, pass that as the
- argument to the command. This can be useful when trying to figure out
- exactly why a given dependency is being duplicated to satisfy conflicting
- version requirements within the project.</p>
- <pre lang="bash"><code>$ npm explain node_modules/nyc/node_modules/find-up
- find-up@3.0.0 dev
- node_modules/nyc/node_modules/find-up
- find-up@"^3.0.0" from nyc@14.1.1
- node_modules/nyc
- nyc@"^14.1.1" from tap@14.10.8
- node_modules/tap
- dev tap@"^14.10.8" from the root project
- </code></pre>

- <!-- raw HTML omitted -->
- <h4 id="json"><code>json</code></h4>
- <ul>
- <li>Default: false</li>
- <li>Type: Boolean</li>
- </ul>
- <p>Whether or not to output JSON data, rather than the normal output.</p>
- <ul>
- <li>In <code>npm pkg set</code> it enables parsing set values with JSON.parse() before
- saving them to your <code>package.json</code>.</li>
- </ul>
- <p>Not supported by all npm commands.</p>
- <!-- raw HTML omitted -->
- <!-- raw HTML omitted -->
- <h4 id="workspace"><code>workspace</code></h4>
- <ul>
- <li>Default:</li>
- <li>Type: String (can be set multiple times)</li>
- </ul>
- <p>Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the
- current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by
- this configuration option.</p>
- <p>Valid values for the <code>workspace</code> config are either:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Workspace names</li>
- <li>Path to a workspace directory</li>
- <li>Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all
- workspaces within that folder)</li>
- </ul>
- <p>When set for the <code>npm init</code> command, this may be set to the folder of a
- workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a
- brand new workspace within the project.</p>
- <p>This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.</p>
